How To Choose A Trout Fly Rod - S5 E7

In this episode of RIO's "How To Fly Fish" series, RIO brand manager Simon Gawesworth talks about trout fly rods, and how to choose the right one. This video is designed to aid the novice fly fisher in selecting the most appropriate sized fly rod for them - based on water size, and fish size.
In this film, Simon only focuses on the rod length and rod/line size differences, and explains when to use a short fly rod, versus a long one, as well as discussing the merits of the rod/line size according to the type of water to be fished, and the size of the trout that are expected (hoped to be) to be caught.
